“Kirsten and Nicolas took such good care of our boy! Our dog even got to play with their dogs and got along well with them. Their dogs are so calm and relaxed just what our 3 year old energetic dog needed to relax. They took care of our feeding schedule and our pup was back healthy and happy! I would definitely rebook with them.”


“Nicole was so amazing with our dog, Nellie! This was our first Rover experience, so of course I was nervous, and Nicole sent frequent photos and updates of Nellie. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be rebooking!”

“Fantastic care provided for our shitzu with updates and pictures. We were confident our little guy was in great hands and wouldn’t hesitate to book again.”

“Sally was absolutely amazing with Hiccup. Her communication was consistent and proactive, and we received tons of pictures during his stay! He got exercise daily, and plenty of cuddles and playtime. As soon as Hiccup met Sally and the home, he seemed at ease and adjusted well to the change. He was clearly safe, happy, and well-loved, and we will be using Sally for all of our future dogsitting needs!”
“Jingle needs special accommodations and Scott took really good care of her. I received photos every day and also updates on Jingle’s condition. Jingle also has plenty of exercise every day! She had a good time there 🥰”

“My dog Bella has been cared for by Andrew twice now, and both times she’s been absolutely happy and well taken care of. The second time we went my dog got excited as we pulled up to the house, remembering what a good time she had during her last visit. Highly recommended!”

“Jasmine took care of our puppy like her own, and kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and caring boarding services.”


“Leslie is a very caring pet sitter (and person). Her love of dogs is evident and a great attribute for a pet sitter. This was our first time staying with Leslie and we have already booked another stay. I feel fortunate to have found Leslie and feel very comfortable leaving my dog in her care.”

“Karolina and her family were wonderful with our dog who can be nervous when away from home. She sent us several pictures updating us on how things were going and it was nice to see our dog settle in and get comfortable so quickly. Karolina was very flexible with our pick up time as well. I felt comfortable leaving our anxious dog with them and definitely hope to use her again in the future!”

“We know our dog is being left in the best of care when he goes Rachelle’s house. He absolutely loves going, and sometimes I think he doesn’t want to come home! We love Rachelle!”


About: I’ve had many different types of dogs throughout my life. More recently I’ve helped care for and watch friends and family members pets while away. I have bathed and groomed my own dog for the last 5+ years. We love long walks, playtime, and most of all the zoomies. My daughter also loves to snuggle and play with any dog that will have her! Due to my daughter’s allergies I am boarding doodles and hypoallergenic dogs only. If we could host all dogs, trust me we would! I currently work full-time Monday-Friday, but I am able to take pets into the office with me any day but weekend stays are preferred. Animals make me happy and any day is better with a dog friend around! I have a flexible schedule and am excited to help care for your pet! I have a large unfenced side yard for pets to explore and potty. A pet friendly neighborhood where lots of dogs are walked at all times of the day. Your pets have free range to my condo minus the basement and are welcome to snuggle up on the couch or bed!
“My dog had a wonderful stay with Carly! She was flexible with drop off and pick up times, took him for several long walks, played with him, and sent great photo/video updates! She even wrote him a little report card 🥹 She went above and beyond and my pup can’t wait to visit her again! Thank you so much!”

“Bethany was awesome! Such great communication and very sweet to our Duke, taking care of him for 10 days! The pictures said it all, he looked so happy! Thanks again 😊”

“Katelyn and Nicholas were both welcoming and a great host for our 11 month old golden retriever. We were provided frequent updates/pictures which was comforting because this was our first trip without our dog. We will return if we ever need their services again!”

“Maolin was a great caretaker for Nash. We were away on vacation for 10 days and she sent daily photos and videos as well as took Nash to the local dog park to play around. She really seemed to care a great deal for Nash as like she was her own. Would definitely use again and refer her to others!”

“Tom was great with Clyde! This was only a one night boarding, but Tom sent plenty of pictures and a video. I will definitely be using Tom again for a one nighter or a longer boarding of Clyde.”

“Pam was so good to my doggie, I think he may have been disappointed to leave!!! I would highly recommend her to anyone. She was very attentive to details and was very loving and comforting with him!”

“Toby had a great time at Bill & Mary’s house. They have a large fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play. He must have run a lot as he came home ready to sleep. Bill & Mary kept us updated with great pictures! I definitely recommend them for your dogs!”

“Justin was very responsive and kept me updated by sending photos of Mocha during his stay. My puppy has stayed with Justin multiple times, and I have never been disappointed. It’s clear that he and his son genuinely care about the dogs they watch. I highly recommend Justin and his son to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet sitters.”

“Joe continues to be our go-to sitter. I’ve actually planned trips around his availability because we don’t want our big baby to be with anyone else while we are gone. Luckily, he has a pretty open schedule and is so flexible and accommodating. We always get lots of photos of Archie and his cuddle time with Joe. 5 ⭐️”

We are so pleased with Millie's stay. Kirsten and Nicolas were super acccomodating with drop off and pick up times...sent us updates throughout the weekend. We loved that they had other dogs for Millie to socialize with and their backyard is perfect. We will definitely be using them again in the future.

Rachel was an absolute gem. My first time leaving Remi at a new place and she quickly put me at ease. Her and her husband were super nice and kept me updated throughout Remi's time with them with lots of photos. Remi was well taken care of. I would highly recommend and would definitely use again.

Alex was absolutely wonderful with my dog! She took great care of him and was very loving and attentive. Our flights ended up getting cancelled, and she was incredibly kind and flexible about keeping him for an extra day. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. I highly recommend her and would definitely book with her again!

Alyssa was a dream! We accidentally booked for the wrong weekend and she was so understanding and kind. She took great care of our old boy, sending regular updates and pictures/videos. He looked happy and relaxed in every update. We will definitely reach out to her in the future!

During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Delaware home-away-from-home, packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Delaware.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Delaware sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.

Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
